Images from Earth From The Air (2008) by Yann Arthus Bertrand - The Earth is Art. The Photographer is only a Witness.
 

About the DVD:

Available on DVD for the first time, the images of Yann Arthus Bertrand are a poignant testimony to the beauty and variety of our home planet Earth as photographed from above, and a timely warning of the great impact our species as on it.

Huge African cotton bales become cauliflowers, logs floating down the Amazon are nothing more than matchsticks, the extraordinary contours of Turkey's Cappadocia are more like lunarscapes and South African sea-lions gathered to mate eerily echo an earlier crowd of curious humans in Côte D'Ivoire.

In contrast, a solitary human figure frequently gives perspective to a shot, though occasionally superfluously, for the obliquity of perception can add resonant depth, reducing mighty river courses to glistening snail trails.

"His ambition: to create a record of the world's environments for the benefit of future generations.” BBC

"Full of some of the most stunning aerial photography ever taken. Full stop.” Waterstones

"Shows how beautiful yet fragile the world is." Greenpeace

"These sweeping views of water, land, and wildlife from renowned photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand will have you falling in love with the Earth all over again." Treehugger

"Breathtaking pictures." The Ecologist

Yann Arthus-Bertrand's works have both political and aesthetic connotations, and have been exhibited in public spaces worldwide. Arthus-Bertrand is a member of the "Académie des Beaux-Arts de l'Institut de France", and was awarded France’s Légion d'honneur, for photographic achievements on the environment.

In 1991, he founded the Altitude Agency in Paris, a photographic library that specializes in aerial photography. It is the only one of its kind. In 2000, Arthus-Bertrand created an exhibition with a collection of 100,000 photographs taken in 76 countries, which make up his Earth from the Air exhibit.

Some of these have been published in his book 365 days: Earth from the Air and exhibited in London, Singapore, Poland, The Netherlands, Finland and elsewhere.

Now you can exhibit these wondrous images in the comfort of your own home, transforming your television into a work of art, giving you up to 8 hours of unrivalled views and perspectives from the greatest aerial photographs ever taken.
